Philip Butler from ULCC doesn't like technology, but is a user of it, he only thinks about technology when it doesn't work.
Technology works best when it is invisable.
Stephen Crowne cheif executive of BECTA talks about when technology is used innovatively it can make a difference to t & L in his Harnessing Technology report.
Learning will become personalised.
If a surgeon was transported from 100 yrs ago into a modern operating theatre they wouldn't know what to do, but transport a teacher, & it wouldn't look much different.
We are trying to look at this at College, technology could free a teacher from teaching AT students from the front of a class room en masse.
At EHWLC we are supporting models where group work is mananged & supported through the cloud, away from the classroom. This frees a teacher up to have time for face to face personalised support for students.
Phil agrees with us,that the learner should be at the centre, the technology, resources, systems, infrastructure supports this.
Phil is looking at systems where the learner's Personal Learning Plan is at the centre, & the recommended model is that the VLE, PLPand e-portfolio ASSESSMENT is institutional, but the e-portfolio of work is personal to the student.
We at College either have or are working towards having all these elements.
Lewisham college have this in Moodle.

I pretty much agree with all this
- only think about tech when it goes wrong or is difficult - we don;t think about so much tecvh these days e.g. until I get a puncture or the car won't start.
- the only thing institutions need concern themselves with is holding the data gerenated by he student while in their "care" and the student can access that data via their openID for as long as necessary.
The data should be owned by teh student but te institution needs to authenicate it
